I can see what you're saying, but I feel there is no difference between DOTA and DOTA 2 other than the user interface and graphics. IMOP it needs something else new to fully draw me in-- I think it'd be really cool to have a new skill, but you may be right, the DOTA community may not like the idea.
It may be Valve developing the game, but it comes down to userability and gameplay still, and I know it's the beta, but LoL is better in these aspects. Take the DOTA name away, and I see no advantage DOTA 2 has over LoL up to this point.
Also, I know the purists may not like this idea, but imop denying is old school and adds no benefit or enjoyment to gameplay. I'd like to see it done away with.

And this is why I love it... No need to fix something that isnt broken... I have played Dota since it first came out, and still find it to be the most addicting game I play. Just because they dont change much (and I think all of the changes they did make are awesome) doesnt mean it has gotten worse; it is still epic. Ive tried LoL and personally do not like it. As I am sure people who play LoL and go to Dota like LoL better. But thats ok, play what makes you happy Dota2 is fantastic!

I look forward to new heroes, features, and items. It'd be a nice breath of fresh air.
In reference to denying, I know it has its benefits, but I don't enjoy having to do it again; infact, after getting use to LoL, I find it extremely annoying now. I just don't think it's needed anymore, and I think those who never played DOTA will hate it.
Don't get me wrong, I want to see DOTA 2 succeed as much as anyone, but developers have a lot of work to do to make this game successful.

The game is already pretty successful in beta let alone the retail version which has yet to come.

Probably those that like to play HoN will be in favor of denying and those that prefer LoL will be against it.

+1 to these.

I know that English isn't your primary language but that statement is not comprehensible or understandable. Sorry.

Just my 2cents... I was invited to play the beta a week or so ago and have about 8 games (4 wins, 4 losses) under my belt. The graphics are superb, the feel of the game is quality as well. The items and the character quantity is awesome as well leaving lots of room for replay.

Highly recommended game

And there are roughly half of the heroes in the game so far, maybe less than that.

I would also like them to add a ARAM(all random all mid) game mode for custom games. That was the only thing I played in LoL before I quit for DotA.
I would also like to be able to filter by lobby name and game mode, instead of password.

Yeah there are a ton of game modes that haven't been added yet. I like RD and CD quite a bit.
